Spiv9's Six Pillars of Responsible Gaming

We believe a great gaming experience starts with an environment that is safe, fair, and supportive of player well-being.

Mandatory Age Verification

Every new member registration goes through a strict age verification process. Only individuals aged 18 and above are permitted to open an account and play on spiv9.

Adjustable Deposit Limit

Set your own daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits through your account settings. These limits take effect immediately and can only be lowered — not hastily increased.

Session Time Limit

Set a time limit for each gaming session. Once the limit is reached, the system will automatically remind you or end the session depending on your preference.

Self-Break (Cool-off)

Need a short break? Activate a self-cooling-off period ranging from 24 hours to 6 weeks. During this period your account cannot be used to place bets.

Full Self-Exclusion

Choose to fully exclude yourself from the spiv9 platform for a minimum period of 6 months up to permanently. This option cannot be reversed within the specified period.

Support & Counselling

The spiv9 support team is trained to assist players experiencing gambling-related issues. We also provide links to independent professional help organisations.

What Is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming refers to a healthy and controlled approach to wagering activities — where players enjoy games purely as entertainment, not as a means of generating income or escaping life's pressures.

At spiv9, we believe every player deserves a safe and enjoyable experience. That is why we take this responsibility seriously — not merely to meet licensing requirements, but because we genuinely care about the well-being of our members in Malaysia.

Responsible gaming means you always:

  • Only play with money you can genuinely afford to lose.
  • Setting time and money limits before you start playing.
  • Understanding that game outcomes are random and cannot be predicted.
  • Stop playing when you start feeling stressed, frustrated, or unable to focus.
  • Not chasing losses with larger bets.

Remember: Online gaming is entertainment. If it starts to feel like a burden or an obligation, it is time to take a break and seek support.

Know the Risks of Problem Gambling

Problem gambling or compulsive gambling occurs when a person cannot control the urge to gamble despite its negative impact on their life — financially, in personal relationships, or on their mental health.

Early warning signs to watch out for in yourself:

  • Feeling the urge to gamble with increasingly larger amounts to get the same level of excitement.
  • Feeling restless or irritable when trying to cut back or stop gambling.
  • Gambling to escape from problems or uncomfortable feelings.
  • Continuing to gamble after heavy losses in the hope of "winning it back".
  • Lying to family or friends about gambling activity.
  • Using money set aside for basic necessities (bills, food, rent) to gamble.
  • Neglecting work, studies, or family responsibilities due to gambling.

Important: If you identify two or more of the above signs in yourself, we encourage you to contact the spiv9 support team or an independent external support organisation immediately.

Self-Control Tools Provided by spiv9

Spiv9 provides a range of self-control tools that you can activate directly through your account settings. All tools are free and available at any time:

Deposit Limit

Set a maximum daily, weekly, or monthly deposit amount. This limit is active immediately and requires a 7-day waiting period to increase.

Session Time Limit

Choose how long you want to play in a single session. The system will send a reminder 10 minutes before the limit is reached.

Loss Limit

Set a maximum loss limit for a given period. Once the limit is reached, your gaming session will be stopped automatically.

Self-Break

Activate a self-exclusion period from 24 hours up to 6 weeks. Your account cannot be used for wagering during this period.

Self-Exclusion

Full self-exclusion option for a minimum of 6 months. All bonus accounts and game access will be deactivated.

Promotion Block

Choose to opt out of all promotional offers, bonuses, or marketing communications from spiv9.

How to Activate Self-Control Tools

Activating self-control tools on spiv9 is simple and can be done in under 5 minutes:

1
Log in to your spiv9 account

Use the button Login at the top of the website and enter your account credentials.

2
Go to Account Settings

Click the profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.

3
Select the "Responsible Gaming" Tab

You will find all available self-control tools under this tab — including deposit limits, time limits, and self-exclusion options.

4
Activate Your Preferred Limits or Options

Select the control type, enter the appropriate value, and click "Confirm". The limit takes effect immediately or within the specified timeframe.

5
Receive Email Verification

A confirmation email will be sent to your registered address to ensure every self-control change is valid and approved by you.

Tip: We recommend setting your deposit and play time limits when registering a new account — before you start playing. This is the best way to ensure your gaming experience stays enjoyable from the very beginning.

Self-Assessment — Are You Playing Responsibly?

Answer the following questions honestly. If you answer "Yes" to three or more questions, we encourage you to activate self-control measures or seek support.

1
Have you ever felt the need to gamble with more money than you originally planned?
2
Have you ever gambled to cope with feelings of sadness, anxiety, or stress?
3
Have you ever tried to stop or reduce gambling but were unable to do so?
4
Have you ever hidden your gambling activity from family members or friends?
5
Have you ever borrowed money or sold belongings to fund your gambling?
6
Has gambling started to affect your work, studies, or family responsibilities?
7
Have you ever felt extremely stressed or hopeless after a bad gambling session?

This assessment is not a medical diagnosis. It is intended as a preliminary guide only. If you have concerns, please contact our support team or an independent professional help organisation.

Child & Minor Protection

Spiv9 takes child protection very seriously. Our platform is for adult players only — aged 18 and above. We enforce the following measures to prevent access by underage individuals:

  • Mandatory date of birth verification during the new account registration process.
  • KYC (Know Your Customer) Verification that verifies the identity and age of players before any withdrawal is permitted.
  • Immediate account closure if there is evidence that the account holder is underage.
  • No trial access to real-money games without logging in and verifying your account.

Advice for parents and guardians: If you share a device with children, we recommend using parental control software to block access to gambling websites. Make sure your spiv9 account password is not known to any children or teenagers around you.

Report Abuse: If you suspect that a minor is using a spiv9 account, please contact us immediately at [email protected] so that immediate action can be taken.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) — Responsible Gaming

No. Once the self-exclusion option is activated, it cannot be reversed until the minimum specified period has ended. This is a deliberately designed protective feature to help you stand by the decision you have made. After the period ends, you will need to actively contact spiv9 support to reopen your account, and a minimum processing period of 7 days will apply.

Your account balance remains safe during a self-exclusion or self-exclusion period. Your funds will not be lost or erased. However, you will not be able to make new deposits or play any games during that period. Withdrawal of your existing balance can still be processed once you contact our support team.

The deposit limit that lowered takes effect immediately — no waiting period. However, if you wish to increase deposit limit, a minimum waiting period of 7 days applies. This is a protective measure to ensure your decision is made carefully and not impulsively.

Yes. spiv9 sends in-app alerts when you reach 80% of your set time limit or deposit limit. A second alert is sent at 95%, and the system will automatically end your session or block deposits once the full limit is reached. You can also opt to receive additional email notifications through your account settings.

Yes, a complete betting history report can be downloaded directly from the "Transaction History" section of your account. The report covers all deposits, withdrawals, bets, and wins. We encourage players to review this history regularly as part of responsible gaming practice.
